I would like to have a regular expression validator for validating zip code. My zip code length varies up to 9 digits. User can enter either 5 or 9. I should valid if he enters 5 digits or 9 digits. Any thing other than that I would like to raise error.
I tried this expression
ValidationExpression="\\d{5}(-\\d{4})?$"
This is my design I am using rad controls
<telerik:RadMaskedTextBox Mask="#####-####" runat="server" ID="txtcontactZipCode"
Width="200px" ValidationGroup="contactValidation">
</telerik:RadMaskedTextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ID="rqrdcontactZipCode" ValidationGroup="contactValidation" Display="Dynamic"
ForeColor="Red" ControlToValidate="txtcontactZipCode" ErrorMessage="Zip Code is required"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="regexpcontactZipCode" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtcontactZipCode"
ValidationGroup="contactValidation" Display="Dynamic" ForeColor="Red" ErrorMessage="Should be 5 or 9 Digits"
ValidationExpression="\\d{5}(-\\d{4})?$"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
But I am unable to valid if I enter as follows 11111-____
Can some one help me..
The issue is that your regular expression indicates the four digits must exist if you have the dash. Generally that would be okay but since you're using an input mask the dash always exists, even when it's only five digits. Try the following expression.
ValidationExpression="\d{5}-?(\d{4})?$"
You should only use \\ to escape when you're setting it through C# code-behind.
Use this...
ValidationExpression="\d{5}(-\d{4})?$"
If you were setting it through the C# in the background, then you would need \\d because \d would be considered to be a control character...
txtcontactZipCode.ValidationExpression = "\\d{5}(-\\d{4})?$";
This is unless you precede the string with #, in which case it could be done as...
txtcontactZipCode.ValidationExpression = #"\d{5}(-\d{4})?$";
What about :- [0-9]{5}(\-[0-9]{4})?
[0-9] Any number between 0 and 9, {5} = only 5 characters; Altarnativly \d depending on what you find easier to read.
( ) - Create a group
\-[0-9]{4} A Dash followed by 4 numbers
? Optional - Zero or One
Use this method:
public static boolean validateZip( String zip )
{
return zip.matches( "\\d{5}" );
}

I want the regex for password textbox with below criteria
(a) At least One character
(b) At least One special character
(c) At least One numeric value
(d) and the length should be greater than 8 digit
Tried something like below and it worked.
Solution 1:-
function checkPassword(password) {
var pattern = /^.*(?=.{8,})(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])/;
if (!pattern.test(password)) {
$(".password_error").show();
} else {
$(".password_error").hide();
}
}
Solution 2:-
<asp:TextBox ID="txtPolicy4" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="Regex4" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtPolicy4"
ValidationExpression="^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)(?=.*[$#$!%*?&])[A-Za-z\d$#$!%*?&]{8,}"
ErrorMessage="Password must contain: Minimum 8 characters atleast 1 UpperCase Alphabet, 1 LowerCase Alphabet, 1 Number and 1 Special Character" ForeColor="Red" />
Both the solution worked for me, but I preferred the second solution.
<td><asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="rev" runat="server" ControlToValidate="registry_no"
ErrorMessage="Invalid Format!" ForeColor="#a90329" Font-Size="Small" ValidationExpression="/^\d+(-\d+)*$/"/></td>

You can specify the exact number of repetitions with braces, like so:
^\d{2}-\d{7}$
I am trying to create a validation expression for my regular expression validator control. I am having trouble understanding how to add things to the validation expression. I need it to accept any input (numbers, characters, any special characters) and limit the input to 200. I have this so far:
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="commentRegularExpressionValidator" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Comment box exceeds 200 characters."
ControlToValidate="TextBoxComments"
ValidationExpression="^[a-zA-Z''-'\s\d ^!##$%^&*()_+=-]{0,200}$"
Text="*"
CssClass="errorMessage"
SetFocusOnError="true"
Display="Dynamic"
ValidationGroup="infoGroup"></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
When I try to add more special characters to the expression, I start getting errors. Can somebody help clarify the format/structure of adding special characters to this validation expression. Thank you
If you need only to accept any input (numbers, characters, any special characters) and limit the input to 200 then Set only property of Textbox like --> MaxLength="200"
Or if you want to show message then use javascript or Jquery like below function on Keydown event of textbox-->
function CountCharacters() {
var maxSize = 200;
if (document.getElementById('<%= txt_handlinginfo.ClientID %>').value != '') {
var len = document.getElementById('<%= TextBoxComments.ClientID %>').value.length;
if (len > maxSize) {
alert('error message');
return false;
}
}
}
You can use .{1,200} regular expression.
. dot character means any character
{1,200} means match 1 or more character upto max 200 characters.
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="commentRegularExpressionValidator" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="Comment box exceeds 200 characters."
ControlToValidate="TextBoxComments"
ValidationExpression=".{1,200}"
Text="*"
CssClass="errorMessage"
SetFocusOnError="true"
Display="Dynamic"
ValidationGroup="infoGroup">
</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
I have regular expression in regular expression validator control. It supports telephone number like this for example +359111111111. The symbol + is mandatory. I want to allow with the start of 0 or + and then the phone number.
What I have now is:
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="revGroupTelephone" runat="server" ValidationExpression="^\+[1-9]{1}[0-9]{7,11}$"
Text="*" ErrorMessage="Wrong number" ControlToValidate="tbGroupTelephone" ValidationGroup="validOrg" />
You can use | for an "or" clause : see msdn
So I would replace
\+
by
(\+|0)
I want to use webdings characters in .net application.
Does anyone know how to do this.
I tried using :
ASPX:
<asp:Label ID="lblSample" runat="server" Font-Names="Webdings" ></asp:Label>
CODE BEHIND:
lblSample.Text = "0x61"
But it doesn't displaying properly.
As can be seen in any ASCII table, character 0x61 is a lower case a.
You are trying to output the string "0x61" instead of a lower case a.
You should be doing this:
lblSample.Text = "a"
